His declaration was in response to a petition by the National Democratic Congress minority caucus of the legislature.
This decision indicates that the current hung parliament, which has given the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) a slight advantage thanks to support from Independent MP Andrew Amoako Asiamah, will not shift in favour of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The MPs affected by this ruling include Peter Yaw Kwakye Ackah of the NDC from the Amenfi Central constituency, Andrew Amoakoh Asiamah of Fomena, Kojo Asante, the NPP MP for Suhum in the Eastern Region, and Cynthia Morrison, the NPP representative for Agona West.
The decision followed an official request made to the Speaker by Haruna Iddrisu, a Member of Parliament from the NDC.
